GNSY Genesys S.A. ADS (MM)

Genesys Conferencing (NASDAQ:GNSY), a global multimedia conferencing leader, announced that it has been awarded two patents covering the assurance of zero latency and full synchronization between the audio and Web components of a multimedia conference. "These patents confirm that Genesys Meeting Center is the only multimedia conferencing platform to guarantee that what a participant hears via the Web or telephone corresponds exactly to what is seen on the screen," Doug Lauder, chief technology architect, explained. True Multimedia Conferencing Integration Genesys President Jim Huzell further explained that the company's patented technology gives the company a unique ability to deliver a high-performance service that best meets the specific needs of large-enterprise customers. "These patents are evidence of the true integration of the Genesys Meeting Center platform, unlike other solutions which offer similar functionality but are in reality separate systems usually supplied by different vendors. Latency is, in fact, a result of not having a single integrated system. Because we've solved the latency problem, our customers receive a superior meeting experience, with the added benefit of having it delivered and supported by a single specialist." Huzell added, "Technology continues to be at the heart of our organization, especially as we prepare Genesys Conferencing to take greater advantage of the industry's evolving landscape." Multimedia conferences typically include two distinct information streams: "command" data and "media" data. A time delay between the two can lead to a mismatch between the audio and visual elements, significantly diminishing the impact of the overall conference. Genesys' patented solution completely eliminates any latency between command and media data. The second patent focuses on presenter interventions, such as adjustments during a conference to the visual presentation, to ensure that they are received by participants in real time, accompanied by the appropriate audio commentary. The effectiveness of these tools can, once again, be reduced by latency between these and the accompanying audio commentary. Enhancing the User's Conferencing Experience "Genesys Meeting Center is the only multimedia conferencing platform capable of ensuring zero latency between audio and visuals for media streaming and presentation adjustments 'on the fly.' These patents confirm our commitment to innovation and to ensuring that moderators and participants derive maximum benefits from multimedia conferencing," Lauder added.
